IMPRovEMEN'r IN cHunNs.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that'I, JOHN SHAPPELL, of Lynnvlle, in the county of Lehigh 'and State lof Pennsylvania, have .invented certain Improvements in Chur-ns, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specitication, in which--A yFigure lis a perspective view of the churn complete.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the box 'apart from frame. y .y ,l

' Figure 3 is a perspective view of dash.

These improvements relate tothe iuodeof securing a vdetachable box to thev frame, to the form of the dash,

- and the'den'ce for preventing lateralA motion of the lash-shaft,

In the accompanying drawingvA A are the upright sdes, and B thev horizontal base constituting the'frame.

C is a horizontal shaft, journaled in the' upper part ot'V the sides A A, and supporting a bevel gear-wheel,

E is a crank fort-inning the shaft.

1*"V is a box, constructed' of the proper size 'andshapel to fit closely between the sides A A, and resting ou the base B.

.This box' is provided with a double lid having acircularV opening in the middle, through which passes the vertical dash-shaft G, upon the upper end of which is a beveled pinion, G, arranged to gear with the wheel iThe dash is attached tothe lower end of the shaft G, which turns in a suitable bearing in the bottom of the box. H'JEhe `dash H'consists of a rectangular block, thigough which the openingsh' h are cut at opposite in'clines, in order to cause increased commotion of the cream, and, by breaking the globules, more speedily release the butter. l v

l' I are horizontal crossbars extending across the front and back of the box F,.their ends resting in staples, fi i, inserted in .the edges of the sides A A.

rl hese, with the bottofmfcleat K, arel designed to keep the box secure while the churn isili operation.

L is abar extendiugtacross the top of the 'box F,

one end being held byzastaple, l, andthe other, which is provided with anjeye on its under side, by the hook an attached to the front of the box.

For tliesupport of the-shaft G a seiuioircular reg cess is formed in the bar L, to correspond therewith.

To remove' the butter, the .box F is detachedV from vvthe .frame by removing the front bar I, and the dash and shaft taken out by displacing the bar L and un.

covering the box.V

Having fully described the same,

VWhatl claim as my invention, and desire toisecure I "box F, bars 1'1', gearing G' D, shaft G, `bar L, shaft G, and dasher H, as and for the purpose set forth.
